„There is a story which has been waiting for you for a long time..."

A story about the everyday struggles, dreams, joys, and hopes for the future carried through generations…

A story shaped by countless births, loves, and losses…

The most important story of your life — because it reveals who you are, where you come from, and perhaps even where you are heading…

Allow me to tell this story for you.

Archival Expertise

As a certified archivist and Doctor of History, I confidently work with both Hungarian and international archival sources, as well as the legal and methodological foundations of historical research.

Processing Original-Language Documents

I read and translate historical documents in their original Latin, German, and English languages, including centuries-old parish records, official documents, and private correspondence.

Personal and Lasting Value

I do not create generic family trees, but rather personalized research projects and family history books that remain meaningful keepsakes for future generations.

Your Family’s Story — Preserved Through Authentic Historical Sources

I have over thirty years of experience in public collections (archives and libraries). For many years I have been creating family trees for my clients and writing family history books for them in English and/or Hungarian. The most important goal and mission of my business is to provide personalized, incomparable, unique value to my clients.

How Can I Help?

Through genealogical research and family tree creation, I help uncover the history of your ancestors. Using Hungarian and international online databases, as well as archival and library sources, I create personalized family histories tailored to your needs. Upon request, I can also produce a historically accurate family history book enriched with photographs and illustrations — a truly unique and personal gift.

Upon request, I also create historically accurate family history books enriched with photographs and illustrations, offering a unique and meaningful gift for every member of the family, suitable for any occasion.

The fact that after more than twenty years of research, I decided to write my own family history was largely due to my friend Gábor Balázs. He encouraged me, let's put it together! In retrospect, I can definitely say that it was a very good decision to listen to him. Gábor's knowledge as a historian helped me a lot to fill in the missing details, so the missing elements of the family history were quickly put in place. But Gábor was not only incredibly professional in the research, he also played his part in compiling the text. This is how the book became complete. Thanks to him for that! Since then, we have worked together on several family history research projects and my opinion above has only strengthened. I therefore dare to recommend him, as I have recommended him on many occasions, to all those who are interested in their family's past. You are guaranteed to receive material that is complete in every detail.

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Balazs Gabor of Gabriel Genealogy for the excellent work he did to trace my wife's family tree. It was delightful to work with him, he was dedicated to the job and his investigations results were received in absolute surprise: He came up with information that no one in our family was aware of. His work is clearly five star work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gábor’s research was outstanding and deeply personal. He uncovered details about my Hungarian family that we never knew. His passion for history truly show in his work. I highly recommend him to anyone tracing their roots in Hungary.

I would like to thank you for the diligent and sacrificial work you have done to uncover the history of the Gyelán family. Since the family is of Armenian origin, and my ancestors were born in areas that were annexed from Hungary, we encountered many difficulties, but your work was still fruitful.

Dear Gabriel, I would like to thank you for your excellent work and help in finding references to my ancestors. Your work helped me to find important information about them. I recommend your services to everybody!

Living in Belgium and born to Hungarian parents who passed away too early for me to ask them about their own origins and life in Hungary before they left it, I was referred to Mr. Gábor Balazs, a renowned genealogist based in Budapest, to help me reconstruct this elusive past. Thanks to Mr. Balazs and his efficiency, I now have a complete family tree from the time my family lived in Hungary. I would also like to highlight the speed, responsiveness, and reasonable cost of the research conducted by Mr. Balazs.

Thanks to you, I was able to accurately put my family tree in order. I would not have been able to achieve this without you. You did a precise, accurate and excellent job. You are highly prepared in historical sciences, so I can only recommend you.

Gábor was very helpful when I contacted him to create my family tree. We agreed on when he could start the work and approximately how long it would take. He kept to the deadlines and always waited patiently for the data he requested for the work. He was very kind throughout and everything went exactly as we agreed at the beginning. I can only recommend him to everyone!

I was given Gabor’s name to help me identify my family’s bloodline in Hungary. Without hesitation Gabor gladly helped me locate information that I never thought existed. Not only was I shocked that he was able to find exactly what I needed, he never once mentioned anything about being paid before providing the information. Gabor is a great person who was a pleasure to deal with.

I wanted to have my parents' family tree prepared on both branches. I came across Gábor through kind recommendations, who questioned me thoroughly, first of all about my wishes, and then about the existing data, so that he could get started. We were in constant communication while writing both works, which resulted in two precise, perfect works in every respect. My parents were also completely satisfied with the completed documents, and this is the most important thing. Not only were they excellent in content, but they were also aesthetically pleasing in appearance. So I can wholeheartedly recommend Gábor in the field of family tree research.

Our acquaintance with Gábor started as a working relationship. We were trying to keep a company's archives and archive plan in order, and he, as a representative of the competent authority, tried to understand us and make us understand what we had to do! His professional professionalism and empathy were already evident during the official meeting. It was clear that he had the profession at his fingertips, and for any silly question we had, he offered a comprehensive and understandable answer, and even a solution. At the end of the official program, he even volunteered to show us the treasures of the Hungarian National Archives in Óbuda. He happily guided us and showed us such a historical overview and such professional dedication that my colleague and I were just amazed and amazed! A voice spoke inside me during the tour. For years, I have felt like a deficit and a debt to myself that I have less than the minimum information about my long-deceased father's family and ancestors. I was a child when I lost him, and as is usually the case, when I would have asked, there was no one to ask! I don't know where I got the courage from, but I asked Gábor the question. If our official relationship ends, can I contact him? I felt that he could help fill this gap... I am happy to say that I succeeded! Thank you Gábor! I recommend that you don't wait any longer, if you have questions about your own past, you are in the best place! I recommend Dr. Gábor Balázs 1000 percent! He will help you answer your questions!
